This sounds like a perfect case for the use of Wikilegal. In any area, not just the one you identify, if it is the case that a section of the community has a genuine need for legal advice in order to perform their activities (and can demonstrate a consensus that the advice is wanted) then the WMF Legal and Community Advocacy team is where you should go. As this is a legal matter and one that deals with several sensitive topics (privacy, children, illegal content, legal accountability of volunteers) it would be foolish of me to give any specific advice in your specific case. Moreover, the Board would not make any decisions in such areas without itself asking the Legal team's recommendation. Much more pertinent is the issue at hand is whether the community feels as if the WMF legal team has "crossed the i's and dotted the t's" in the areas that are important to our activities. Does the community know this team exists? Does the community feel WMF Legal responsive to its needs? If the answers to these questions are "no" then it is something the Board can ask the relevant staff to address.
